"Why do you look so pale?"
"The doctor had to cut, Zerline. Blood was spilled. It was ugly. It's only because of a miracle I escaped a blood transfusion."
"Oh my, is that why you have that tiny plaster on your arm?"
"Tiny?!" I showed Zerline my wound. "See, it's a miracle I didn't need stitches! Imagine the pain I went through."
"Did it hurt? That's odd, it happens to me almost every day but I don't recall it hurts."
"I asked the doctor not to sedate me. I can handle it. You see, man of my construction year, we are ..."
"What happened?" Tilde came in and interrupted, curious about all the commotion. "Did our Great Hovawart Leader got attacked by the yellow lab on the corner?"
"No," Zerline said, "He had a tick removed."
